Proverbs 15:12-16 English Revised Version (ERV)

12. A scorner loveth not to be reproved: he will not go unto the wise.

13. A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.

14. The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.

15. All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a cheerful heart hath a continual feast.

16. Better is little with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure and trouble therewith.
